Awoman held her phone tightly to her heart the way a church-goer might hold a Bible. She was anxious to
take a picture of an impressive bunch of flowers that sat not so far away, but first she had to get through a crowd of
others pushing their way to do the same. The cause of this was Bouquets to Art, one of the most popular events at
the de Young Museum in San Francisco.
Flower sellers were asked to create flower arrangements that respond to pieces of art on display, from ancient
carvings to contemporary sculptures. It’s extremely attractive and also memorable, to the point that it has become a
problem.
In recent years, the de Young received more than a thousand complaints from people who felt that cell phones
had spoiled their experience of the exhibit. Institutions of fine art around the world face similar problems as the
desire to take photographs becomes a huge attraction for museums, as well as something that upsets some of their
patrons (资助人). So the de Young responded with a kind of compromise:carving out “photo free” hours during the
exhibition’s six-day run.
One common complaint about the effect of social media on museum culture is that people seem to be missing
out on experiences because they are so busy collecting evidence of them. A study recently published in the journal
Psychological Science suggests there is some truth to this. It finds that people who keep taking photos of an exhibit
and posting them on social media rather than simply observing it, have a hard time remembering what they see. But
the issue is complex for the professionals running museums. Linda Butler, the de Young’s head of marketing and
visitor experience, acknowledges that not everyone wants a museum to be“a photo-taking playland”. Yet a lot of
people do and she believes that the de Young is in no position to judge one reason for buying a $ 28 ticket to be
more valid than another. “If we removed social media and photography,” she says. “We would risk becoming
irrelevant.”
4. What was the woman eager to do according to Paragraph 1?
A. To get her phone. B. To escape the crowd.
C. To take a photo. D. To push ahead.
5. How did the de Young respond to the dilemma?
A. By setting periods without photo-taking.
B. By making the exhibition free of charge.
C. By compromising with the government.
D. By extending the free exhibition hours.
6. The recent study finds that the use of social media in museums may ________.
A. uncover the truth B. cause irrelevancy
C. bring more pleasure D. play a negative role
7. Which of the following may Linda Butler support?
A. Reducing admission prices.
B. Catering to visitors.
C. Reserving judgement in public.
D. Banning social media and photography.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是新闻报道,介绍了一家博物馆收到了很多人的抱怨,抱怨者们纷纷称已经影响了他们的看
展体验,因为拍照的欲望成了一些人去博物馆的巨大动力,也成了另外一些老顾客心烦的原因。于是,该
博馆物采取了一个折中的办法:在展期内抽出“无拍照”时间。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“She was anxious to take a picture of an impressive bunch of flowers ”
(她急于给一束花拍照)可知,女人非常渴望拍照,故选 C。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“So the de Young responded with a kind of compromise:carving out
“photo free” hours during the exhibition’s six-day run.”(因此,博物馆做出了一种折中的回
应:在为期六天的展览中抽出“无照片”的时间)可知,面对人们的抱怨,博物馆采取了一个折中的办法:
在展期内抽出“无拍照”时间。故选 A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段第一句“One common complaint about the effect of social media on museum
culture is that people seem to be missing out on experiences because they are so busy collecting
evidence of them.”可知,在社交媒体对博物馆文化影响的争论中,一个常见的抱怨是,人们似乎错过了
体验,因为他们太忙于收集证据,也就是社交媒体的使用在参观博物馆过程中起消极的作用。故选 D。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段““If we removed social media and photography,” she says. “We would risk
becoming irrelevant.””可知,她认为,如果限制适用社交媒体和拍照,博物馆可能变得无关紧要(不那
么受欢迎),由此可知,Linda Butler认为博物馆要迎合游客。故选 B。
C
It has always been thought that alcohol causes people to put on weight because it contains a lot of sugar, but
new research suggests a glass a day could form part of a diet. Looking at past studies they found that, while heavy
drinkers do put on weight, those who drink in moderation can actually lose weight.
A spokesman for the research team at Navarro University in Spain says, “Light to moderate alcohol intake,
especially of wine, may be more likely to protect against, rather than promote, weight gain.” The International
Scientific Forum on Alcohol Research reviewed the findings and agreed with most of the conclusions, particularly
that data do not clearly indicate if moderate drinking increases weight.
Boston University’s Dr. Harvey Finkel found that the biologic mechanisms(生物学机制) relating alcohol to
changes in body weight are not properly understood. His team pointed out the strong protective effects of moderate
drinking on the risk of getting conditions like diabetes (糖尿病), which relate to increasing obesity. Some studies
suggest that even very obese people may be at lower risk of diabetes if they are moderate drinkers.
The group says alcohol provides calories that are quickly absorbed into the body and are not stored in fat, and
that this process could explain the differences in its effects from those of other foods. They agree that future
research should be directed towards assessing the roles of different types of alcoholic drinks, taking into
consideration drinking patterns and including the past tendency of participants to gain weight.
For now there is little evidence that consuming small to moderate amounts of alcohol on a regular basis
increases one’s risk of becoming obese. What’s more, a study three years ago suggested that resveratrol (白藜芦醇),
a compound present in grapes and red wine destroys fat cells.
8. The underlined phrase “in moderation” in the first paragraph means “________”.
A. excitedly B. carefully
C. frequently D. properly
9. What can we learn from the passage?
A. The research found moderate drinking has a strong protective effect.
B. Resveratrol is proved to increase the risk of becoming fat.
C. Current data clearly show that moderate drinking increases weight.
D. The specific roles of different types of alcoholic drinks are very clear.
10. What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?
A. How to do some easy experiments.
B. How to reduce the calories contained in wine.
C. How to prove the finding mentioned above.
D. How to make wine in a healthy way.
11. Where is the article most probably taken from?
A. A chemistry textbook. B. ATV advertisement.
C. A science magazine. D. A supermarket website.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。人们普遍认为经常饮酒会导致肥胖,但是最近研究人员发现适量饮酒可以起
到减肥的效果,而且还可以防止糖尿病。
【8题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章第一段“Looking at past studies they found that, while heavy drinkers do put on
weight...”(回顾过去的研究,他们发现,虽然酗酒者的确会增加体重),。根据连词 while可知上下文存在对
比关系,所以猜测画线部分应和 heavy drinkers 对应,指适量饮酒的人,说明但是那些适当饮酒的人实际上
会减肥。故选 D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“His team pointed out the strong protective effects of moderate drinking on the risk
of getting conditions like diabetes (糖尿病), which relate to increasing obesity.” (他的研究小组指出,适量饮酒具
有很强的保护作用,可以降低患糖尿病等疾病的风险,而糖尿病与肥胖人数的增加有关。)可知 Dr. Harvey
Finkel指出适量饮酒对应糖尿病有保护作用,也就是说适量饮酒的人患糖尿病的风险低,故选 A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“What’s more, a study three years ago suggested that resveratrol (白藜芦醇), a
compound present in grapes and red wine destroys fat cells.” (此外,三年前的一项研究表明,葡萄和红葡萄酒中
存在的一种化合物白藜芦醇会破坏脂肪细胞。0由此可知接下来就会证明这一理论的正确性,故选 C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“It has always been thought that alcohol causes people to put on weight because it
contains a lot of sugar, but new research suggests a glass a day could form part of a diet.”(一直以来,人们都认为
酒精会让人发胖,因为它含有大量的糖分,但最新研究表明,每天一杯酒可以成为饮食的一部分。)由此可
知,本篇文章都在叙述与之相关的研究,那么这篇文章最有可能来自科学杂志上,故选 C。
【点睛】推理判断题的推断对象主要包括隐含意思、目标读者、观点态度、文章出处、写作意图等。以推
断隐含意义的题目居多。推断隐含意义,即要求根据文章的某个句子、段落或全文所提供的事实进行逻辑
推理,推断出作者没有提到、没有明说或者可能发生的事实。题干中常含 infer(推断),suggest(暗示),
imply(暗示),indicate(暗示),conclude(推断,得出结论)等词语。解此类题,首先找到相关信息,然
后细读、理解相关信息的字面意义,最后结合语境和常识,在字面意义的基础上进行符合逻辑的推断,从
而理解作者的言外之意。如小题 3,根据文章最后一段“What’s more, a study three years ago suggested that
resveratrol (白藜芦醇), a compound present in grapes and red wine destroys fat cells.” 此外,三年前的一项研
究表明,葡萄和红葡萄酒中存在的一种化合物白藜芦醇会破坏脂肪细胞。由此可知接下来就会证明这一理
论的正确性,故选 C。
D
The sun appears to experience far fewer changes in brightness and intensity than other stars like it.
Researchers reported last week on their examination of 369 stars. They compared each one to the sun in terms of
surface temperature, size and rotation. They found that on average, the other stars had five times more brightness
variability than our sun.
The lead author was Timo Reinhold, an astronomer with the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research
in Germany. He told the Reuters news agency that the variability in brightness results from dark spots on the
surface of the star moving in and out of view.
“A direct measure of solar activity is the number of sunspots on the surface,” Reinhold said. “Finding such
stars with very similar parameters as our sun but being five times more variable was surprising.”
The sun —made up mainly of hydrogen and helium—is an average-sized star that formed more than 4.5
billion years ago. It stretches about 1.4 million kilometers across and has a surface temperature of 5,500 degrees
Celsius.
The researchers compared scientific data on the similar stars to historical records of the sun’s activity. The
records included about 400 years of observational data on sunspots. The researchers also studied about 9,000 years
of data based on chemical element variants in tree rings and ice buildup tied to solar activity. These records show
the sun has not been much more active than it is now.
The researchers said increased magnetic activity related to sunspots can lead to electromagnetic events that
effect Earth. For example, large releases of plasma—a collection of charged particles—from outer areas of the
sun’s atmosphere could cause problems for satellites and other communications equipment.
The discovery may be good news for life on Earth Amuch more active sun might have had more major effects
on Earth’s geology and ancient climate. “A ‘too active’ star would definitively change the conditions for life on the
planet, so living with a quite boring star is not the worst option,” Reinhold said.
The findings, he noted, do not rule out the possibility that the sun may be in a quiet period and could become
more variable in the future. However, the researchers say there are no signs that solar activity will be increasing any
time soon.
12. According to Timo Reinhold, what causes the variability in brightness of the sun?
A. Hydrogen and helium in the sun.
B. The surface temperature of the sun.
C. The diameter (直径) of the sun.
D. Dark spots on its outer part.
13. Which of the following helped researchers prove the sun’s inactivity?
A. Scientific data of all the other stars.
B. Data of sunspots observed in the past 400 years.
C. 9,000 years of data of the activities of the sun.
D. Data of chemical element variants in icy trees.
14. What will probably happen if the sun becomes very active?
A. There will be a decreased magnetic activity.
B. The geology and climate of the Earth will be different.
C. Satellites and other communications equipment will work better.
D. People on the Earth have to live with the quite boring star.
15. What is the best title of this article?
A. The sun: less active than similar stars
B. The sun: less bright and intense than before
C. Sun spots: a direct measure of solar activity
D. Sun spots: the cause of electromagnetic events on Earth
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. B 15. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了与其他的恒星相比,太阳在亮度和强度的变化上要少得多。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The lead author was Timo Reinhold, an astronomer with the Max Planck Institute
for Solar System Research in Germany. He told the Reuters news agency that the variability in brightness results
from dark spots on the surface of the star moving in and out of view.”(该研究的第一作者是德国马克斯·普朗克
太阳系研究所的天文学家蒂莫·莱茵霍尔德(Timo Reinhold)。他告诉路透社,亮度的变化是由于恒星表面的
暗斑进出视线所致。)可知,根据蒂莫·莱因霍尔德的说法,其外部的黑点导致了太阳亮度的变化。故选 D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第五段“The researchers compared scientific data on the similar stars to historical records of
the sun’s activity. The records included about 400 years of observational data on sunspots….These records show
the sun has not been much more active than it is now.”(研究人员将类似恒星的科学数据与太阳活动的历史记录
进行了比较。这些记录包括了大约 400年的太阳黑子观测数据。研究人员还研究了约 9000年的数据,这些
数据基于树木年轮的化学元素变化以及与太阳活动有关的冰层堆积。这些记录表明,太阳并没有比现在更
活跃。)可知,过去 400年来观测到的太阳黑子的数据帮助研究人员证明了太阳并不活跃。故选 B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“The discovery may be good news for life on Earth A much more active sun
might have had more major effects on Earth’s geology and ancient climate.”(这一发现对地球上的生命来说可能
是个好消息,一个更加活跃的太阳可能会对地球的地质和古代气候产生更大的影响。)可推知,如果太阳变
得非常活跃,地球的地质和气候将会不同。故选 B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“The sun appears to experience far fewer changes in brightness and intensity than
other stars like it. Researchers reported last week on their examination of 369 stars. They compared each one to the
sun in terms of surface temperature, size and rotation. They found that on average, the other stars had five times
more brightness variability than our sun.”(与其他类似的恒星相比,太阳在亮度和强度上的变化要少得多。研
究人员上周报告了他们对 369颗恒星的检测结果。他们将它们的表面温度、大小和旋转度与太阳进行了比
较。他们发现,平均而言,其他恒星的亮度变异性是太阳的 5倍。)可知,文章主要讲述了太阳比类似的恒
星活跃度低。故选 A。

Are people less or more happy when they get older? A study in 2018 found that people generally
become/happier and experience less worry after age 50. In fact, it found that by the age of 85, people are happier
with their life than they were at 18.
Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York
led the-study. His team found that levels of stress were the highest among adults between the ages of 22 and
25.____16____
Happiness was the highest among the youngest adults and those in their early 70s. But the people least likely
to report feeling negative emotions were those in their 70s and 80s.
The survey also found that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older.____17____
The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children , being unemployed or being
single. But, they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and well-being related to age.
___18___ One theory is that, as people get older, they become more than thankful for what they have and have
better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experience.
___19___ In another study, people in their 80s reported the fewest problems with the quality of their sleep.
The original goal was to confirm the popular belief that aging is connected with increased sleep
problems.____20____But except for that, people reported that they felt their sleep quality improved as they got
older.
A. Stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their 50s.
B. So why will happiness increase with age?
C. Researchers surveyed more than 150,000 American adults.
D. At that time, the people were between the ages of 18 and 85.
E. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men.
F. Happiness is not the only thing that apparently improves with age.
G. The survey did find an increase during middle age, especially in women.
【答案】16. A 17. E 18. B 19. F 20. G

第二节(满分 25分)
47. 阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Walter John was a 20-year-old college student from Homewood, Alabama. As a young man in college far
away from home, he didn’t have much money. He had to work part-time to cover his living costs.
Recently he gave up his part-time job in the fast-food business and found a new one at a home-moving
company called Bellhops. The pay for his new job was higher, and John gained more flexibility with his hours,
which allowed him to focus on his studies a bit more. He wanted to do everything he could to secure this new
employment opportunity, so he thought he had to try his best to make sure that everything would go well on his
first day!
But sometimes, life hits you unexpectedly. A day before John began his new job, his car broke down! With
little money to his name, he couldn’t have his car repaired at the garage. None of his friends were able to take
him to work. What was worse, the public transportation was not running at his working time. If he took a taxi, it
would cost him half his salary.
Therefore, he decided to walk to the company.
In order to get there by six in the morning, he thought that the safest way would be to leave at midnight.
John even challenged himself to arrive there one hour earlier. Even though it seemed like such a far walk, John
knew he was fit enough to do it. This was challenging, but John knew it was possible.
He grabbed his wallet and his phone and left his apartment. As soon as he stepped out of the door, he
realized that walking alone in the dark at midnight can be dangerous. Moreover, he had to walk through a large
wood as well as many blocks of the city. Therefore, he went back to take a bat (球棒) and a kitchen knife for
safety purposes. In case a wild animal or some bad person attacked him, at least he would have something for
protection.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为 150 左右:
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Finally John started his long walk.
___________________________________________________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________
At that time, a car was drawing closer.
___________________________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
Finally John started his long walk. A few hours into the trek, he saw eyes in the distance, so he grabbed his bat
before realizing it was just a stray dog. He walked across the street, hoping the dog wouldn’t bother him, and he
also picked up a ball and threw it in the opposite direction. It worked. John walked for three hours straight and
felt great about it. His legs burned a bit, but another three hours would hurt him. He thought a quick rest could
give him more energy, so it was a calculated decision to take a break.
Paragraph 2:
At that time, a car was drawing closer. When the driver, Mark, pulled up to John, he rolled down the window and
asked why he was all alone in the morning on the road. John told the Mark what he was doing. Impressed by his
story, Mark offered to give him a lift. Thanks to Mark’s help, John managed to make it to the destination at 5:30.
With the sun peeking over the horizon, John’s face glowed with gratitude. Feeling energetic, he couldn’t wait to
get started.
Version 2:
Paragraph 1:
Finally John started his long walk. He walked nonstop and soon he was deep in the forest. Apart from the creepy
cry from owls and the rustling of trees, the wood was in a deathly silence. Unconsciously, he quickened up and
held onto the bat tightly. Abruptly, a terrible howl, from what sounded like a wolf, broke the silence and startled
him. He jumped up and ran as fast as his legs could carry him. He didn’t stop running until he saw a flash of light
at a distance, moving quickly towards him.
Paragraph 2:
At that time, a car was drawing closer. At the sight of John, the driver slowed down and stopped. He asked
cautiously, “What are you doing here at this time?” Hearing that there were probably wolves in the forest ahead,
the man immediately urged John to get in and turned around the car. After John told the man why he was in the
wood, the man burst into laughter, “I know your company, young man. I’m the boss. You see, I was just off work
when you went to work. Now, would you like to have breakfast together?”
【解析】
【分析】本文以故事发展顺序为线索展开。文章讲述了一名叫做沃尔特·约翰的穷学生不得不做兼职工作
以支付生活费用。为了提高收入,他换了一份工作。在第一天上班时,因为自己汽车抛锚和公共交通停运,
他不得不午夜开始步行去上班。在他走得筋疲力尽感到腿疼时,一位好心的司机搭载了他,这让他没有迟
到并备受鼓舞。
【详解】1.段落续写:

②由第二段首句内容“这时,一辆车开得越来越近。”可知,第二段可描写这位车主上前询问后搭载了约
翰一程以及约翰在受到帮助时的内心感受。
